Governors Seminars on Hypnosis Foundation (Predecessor of ASCH.ERF) and Past
President and Co-Founder of ASCH.
During the past several years there have been ever increasing numbers of physicians,
dentists, and psychologists interested in hypnosis, both therapeutic and investigative.
Reliable sources of clinical information and instruction were practically non-existent
except for a few scattered individuals. To meet this need, to interest universities, and to
stimulate medical and dental schools to an awareness of the importance of teaching
clinical hypnosis, a group of experienced clinicians competent in teaching was formed.
Throughout the United States, tinder the auspices of various professional societies and
universities, this group conducted seminars on hypnosis.
This book is compiled from the tape recordings of dozens of those seminars, arid thus it
contains the material as it was presented, with all the simplicity, directness and
effectiveness of the classroom presentation.
It is no more, no less, than a comprehensive presentation of the material upon which
thousands of clinicians throughout the United States have based the initiation and
development of their successful clinical use of hypnosis. The Practical Application of

The material in this book has been adapted from that presented in seminars throughout
the country during the past several years. These seminars arc conducted at the
postdoctoral level, for physicians, dentists, and psychologists. 'To avoid the verbosity of
the spoken word, some revisions have been made. For inductions and other techniques,
the full flow of conversation has been preserved as transcribed from tapes, so that the
reader may capture the entire sequence and interplay of events.
Each of the co-authors is engaged in the active practice of his specialty. This fact is
important because of the assurance it gives that cases presented, techniques
demonstrated, and theoretical discussions are all based on day-to-day experience rather
than on any purely academic approach to topics or secondhand access to clinical material
and problems.
It is impossible to put into book form the full give and take that exists in an actual
teaching situation. A good many of the considerations that will occur to the reader have
been taken into account, however, in the various question and answer periods, which
have served as a basis for supplementing the individual approaches of the co-authors.
There is no adequate substitute for actual participation in an active interpersonal training
situation. This book is not intended as a substitute and it will have limited usefulness
when employed alone. As a supplement to and preparation for actual training, it does
serve important needs, not the least of which is that students can be relieved of the need
for taking notes, and feel free to participate fully and actively in the training situation.
Seminars and texts can serve only as beginnings in the training of individuals for the
employment of hypnosis in their specialties. Beyond that point, it is essential for each
student to practice, analyze, discuss with others, and gain as extensive and intensive
experience as possible. Where two or more students are close enough to meet
occasionally, the interaction of experiences and outlooks will help to provide continuing
training and advice, either formally or through informal groups.
Clearly, no seminar or single text can provide basic training for the internist,
obstetrician, gynecologist, anesthesiologist, dentist, oral surgeon, psychologist, or
